This very much ties into the main story (in my view) of the day. A few hours ago the Egyptian Parliament was dissolved. I knew from the beginning that this move towards democracy, towards transparency, towards something different in the middle east was a facade. I went into print with as much on this forum a little over a year ago. link to juancole.com. (see my comments). There will be no change without ideological cohesion. And as long as the United States is a superpower, and therefore meddler in chief, there will be no true ideological cohesion (because there is no chance of a mere open ideological discussion). The middle east will continue to get it “good and hard” (unfortunately) for the foreseeable future.
